Ok, I know all the lyrics to the song, but I have a question about the "de, de" part.  When watching the videos from the first DVD and TGJ, it looks like the ladies are saying more than just "de, de."  My sister and I know for certain they are saying something after the second "de."  It's either "la" or "na."  But, we're not sure.  And, it sounds like they are saying something after the first "de" as well.  Can anyone help us???  It's just one of those things that is bothering us.  Cheesy Haha!  Thanks!!

Another quick question, can anyone tell me where those videos came from on youtube of Orla, Meav, and Lisa performing "Orinoco Flow" at Slane Castle, because it's not on my "ANJ" DVD!!!  Haha!  How did people get the video?  I'm not sure if anyone can even answer this, I just thought I'd ask.    Cheesy

On the Greatest Journey DVD they have the Orinoco Flaw video from both Slane Castle and the Helix DVD mixed together.

To answer your question, I dont know why this is but there are two different versions of ANJ.  One that has OF and one that doesnt. I guess you ended up with the version without OF.  LisaLover7 ended up having that problem too.

The link to you-tube says! un-deh-un-deh-na. But I have trouble hearing the na in the song. It is still one of my fav Celtic Woman songs and I listen to it at least 2 or 3 times a day.

Yikes! I'm glad I got the one with OF. I wasen't aware of that 'issue'. Cause I would have been mad if I didn't get it!

 Sad Sad Sad Sad  I didn't know there were two different versions.  Well, at least I have youtube (because I do prefer the ANJ version over the first DVD, just because of the "wave" and the fact they have more movement!!   Grin

The lyrics to "Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)" were written by Roma Ryan, who had been one of Enya's longest-standing collaborators and/or collaboratrices since her solo debut. The reference to "Rob Dickins at the wheel" stems from the fact that Mr. Dickins is the executive producer, for Enya's record label, of such of her albums as "Watermark," from which Enya's original version of this is drawn.

These are the "Celtic Woman" lyrics, but you're right they do make a sound after each of the "de's" but I don't thinks an actual word. To me it sounds like de, n de, da

On the New Journey DVD they are going back and forth between the Helix performance and the Slane Castle performance, both with Lisa, Meav & Orla.
